1995 f150 headlight problem

Hi, this is my first post and hopefully somebody has an answer. Both my low beams went out as well as my DRL, my high beams still work but no high beam indicator on dash. I removed the drl module and tested the pins with a meter and found one pin has 12+ v with the low beams on and 12+ volts with the high beams on and the low beam pin de energised. I also jumped the high beam pin to the indicator light pin and it works as well. I am guessing that the drl module is bad but want to confirm before forking out cash for a new one. Does anyone have a headlight wiring diagram for a 1995 f150. I have searched high and low for one and I am starting to believe that that models wiring diagram is top secret. Any way, thanks in advance BTW I don't really care if I have the DRL at all I seem to have a canadian model.

I want to remember reading somewhere that it can just be unplugged removed, and the harnesses connected back together. If not, I'd just bypass it. Can't stand DRL's myself and usually drive with one click on the parking brake if I'm running a ride with them.

You need a "DRL jumper" to replace the module. Readily sourced at any junkyard. A dealership might even have one lying around but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yeah, I have been reading quite a bit about it and I see a bunch of conflicting stuff that's why I was hoping that someone had a wiring diagram.

The dealer didn't show it in their parts list and I have been checking some wrecking yards. no luck so far.

Any same-series truck without DRL has one. It simply plugs in in place of the DRL module.

Have you checked the headlight switch itself? My 84 had the same problem (highs but no lows) and that's what it was.
